Verdict
A rejuvenated GRANDFATHER TOM has won four times this year and the ease his latest success at Leicester suggested he hasn’t stopped winning yet. Redredrobin has also been in winning form including a couple of victories over 6f here and is penalised for her latest success while Saaheq has been winning at Chelmsford though finished last of six in this contest last year. Just Glamorous won this in 2021 but makes a seasonal reappearance while Stone Circle’s earlier win came on soft ground and Sampers Seven drops down in class.
